INCORPORATION OF SERVICES IN NATURAL RESOURCE-INTENSIVE GOODS:DESCRIPTION AND MEASUREMENT RAM, Rev. Adm. Mackenzie, (Mackenzie Management Review), 18(6) Originality/value: South American countries play a key role in international markets of the so-called Natural Resource Intensive Goods (NRIGs), particularly, mining and food. It has been discussed that this specialization pattern has disadvantages in terms of economic development, and both policy makers and academia repeatedly sustain the need to search for new international insertion schemes. In this paper, we discuss that one such avenue could be based on these comparative advantages themselves, through Services and in a particular infrastructure.• São Paulo, SP • Nov./Dec. 2017 • ISSN 1678-6971 (electronic version) • doi 10.1590/1678-69712017/administracao.v18n6p15-46 Submission: Dec. 16, 2016. Acceptance: Aug. 02, 2017. Evaluation system: double-blind review. Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (UPM). Silvio Popadiuk (Editor-in-chief), Eduardo Raupp de Vargas (Associate editor), p. 15-46.Design/methodology/approach: To measure the relevance of economic infrastructure services on the competitiveness of NRIGs, we develop a sectoral approach using domestic input-output tables for six Latin American countries. In particular, we measure Services value added incorporated in NRIGs, and we also analyse the impacts of productivity changes in infrastructure services on NRIGs producer prices.Findings: Results allow to identify which infrastructure services are more important to each NRIG in each country.

Cadenas globales de valor, empleo y servicios: Evidencia para algunos países Latinoamericanos

“…Este es claramente un supuesto importante, porque implica que las intensidades en el uso del trabajo en los países de la muestra es un promedio de la realidad de dos países. Sin embargo, dada la dificultad para conseguir información de empleo en clasificación CIIU a dos dígitos, para todos los países de la muestra y para el año 2009, se optó por adoptar este supuesto apelando a que, en definitiva, los países latinoamericanos tienen en común un conjunto de características estructurales que son reflejo de una historia, inserción internacional y capacidades productivas similares (Vaillant y Gilles, 2017).…”

Servicios y bienes intensivos en recursos naturales en Sudamérica: nuevas oportunidades de transformación productiva

“…Los BIRN son aquellos en los que la utilización de los recursos naturales es relativamente mayor en relación con otros factores productivos primarios. Una definición operativa, empleando las matrices insumo-producto de los países de Sudamérica, se hace enVaillant & Gilles (2017).…”
